Ride mode with turn instructions

Our own routing service for cycling and walking, stops are triggered and read out on the spot, detours are guided back, emergency call with the nearest rescue point and the country's numbers.

Two regions, one technology

Stade & Altes Land as pilot, North Limburg (NL) since 24 September 2026 with 1,600 places, the junction network and twelve junction routes in two languages. Every further region follows the same path.

Junction routes from the network

Cycle junctions are read from OpenStreetMap; a sequence of numbers becomes a tour with line, stops and stories at the junctions. Gaps in the network are closed via other junctions.

In progress

Showcase: questions, answers, presentation, demo

This page. Next: a demo region with sample data where interested parties can try everything with a code - create places, ride tours, and afterwards it is all gone again.

Park module: zoo, theme park, holiday park

Parks with their own walks, enclosures with feeding times, rides with notes, navigation to the rented house, a test route for the park before takeover.

Planned

National language per country

In every region the national language plus English as a switch, your preferred display language in your profile. Emergency numbers per country are already there.

Partner routes with branding, bookable per route

A park or business offers its guests exclusive guided tours, visible under its brand, bookable per route; revenue share negotiable.

Offline maps and day planner

Map tiles for the phone without network, day planning via junctions with return guidance.

Questions & answers

Can I try the map first?

Yes. The live demo “Musterland” runs like the real thing – map, tours, ride mode, business view – only with fictional places on a real map. You need an invitation code from us; everything is reset at the end.

🗺 What is the Entdecker-Karte?

What does the Entdecker-Karte cost for guests?

Nothing. Viewing the map, discovering places, riding, all guided tours with their stories and every audio stop, the discovery loops and the scavenger hunt for children – all free and without registration. If you like, you can support Navuntio voluntarily – access never depends on it.

Do I need an app?

No. The map runs in the phone browser, including ride mode with turn instructions and announcements. If you like, add it to your home screen like an app.

Who is behind the Entdecker-Karte?

Severin Bandak from Stade. He invented the Entdecker-Karte, develops it and runs it privately; the Navuntio project is being established. Concept, development and operation are in one hand.

💰 Business model & figures

How does the Entdecker-Karte earn money?

The map sells nothing: it is free for guests, tour guides and businesses; there are no prices or packages. It is carried by sponsors, partners and public cooperations; voluntary support will be added and is never a condition for using the map. Funding needs, costs and measurable results are in the prospectus.

🏪 For businesses & partners

How does my business get on the map?

Many businesses are already on it. With "This is my business" you take over your entry; we briefly check that you belong to it, and afterwards you maintain description, opening hours, pictures and story yourself. The entry is free; there are no packages or prices. Businesses unlock further options by taking part: information, pictures and the story of their place earn points, and with the points the entry moves up a level.

🗣 For tour guides

What does a tour guide gain from the map?

Create your own guided tours, bring groups along via link, guide live with announcements to all devices, certificates for participants and statistics on how often a tour was ridden.

🔒 Technology, data & privacy

Where do the places and routes come from?

From OpenStreetMap, complemented by our editors and by the businesses themselves, who take over and maintain their entries. Junction networks and rescue points also come from public sources; the source is named on every map.

What happens to my location and data?

Your location stays in your browser and is used only for display and ride mode. There are no ad networks and no trackers; address search runs on our own server, not on third parties.

🌍 New regions

How does a new region get on the map?

Every region gets its own map at /karte/<code>/ with its own places, tours and texts, running on the same technology. Places and the junction network are read from OpenStreetMap, tours are built from junction sequences or GPX. North Limburg in the Netherlands has been the second region after Stade and the Altes Land since 24 September 2026.
